Method

  • Boil, steam or microwave sweet potato until tender; drain. When cool enough to handle, peel sweet potato; cut flesh into 1.5cm pieces.

    Meanwhile, blend or process oil, onion, cumin, ground and fresh coriander, chillies, rind, juice and the water in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; stand until required.

    Drain oil from tomatoes over a bowl; reserve. Coarsely chop tomatoes. Process tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil with garlic and onion powders, paprika and nuts until coarsely chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of coriander mixture; pulse until combined.

    Transfer tomato mixture to a large frying pan, stir in sweet potato. Heat mixture over low heat for 5 mins or until warmed through. Serve sweet potato mixture in tortillas with rocket and remaining coriander mixture.
